RESUMEN
Gastric cancer is the most prevalent gastrointestinal tumor in China， threatening the life and health of patients. Surgery is one of the available therapies， which， however， induces postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction （PGD） and other common complications. The pathogenesis of PGD is still unclear and no efficient targeted drug is available. In addition， the limited treatment measures fail to effectively improve gastrointestinal function. As a result， patients generally suffer from low quality of life and poor prognosis. In Chinese medicine， PGD belongs to the categories of "vomiting"， "stuffiness and fullness"， "regurgitation"， "abdominal distension"， "intestinal impediment"， and "intestinal accumulation". In recent years， there has been an explosion of research on the PGD of gastric cancer in Chinese medicine， and many research results have been obtained. On this basis， this study introduced PGD in modern medicine， and causes and pathogenesis， syndrome differentiation-based treatment， and clinical studies of PGD. It was found that diverse internal and external treatments are available in Chinese medicine for PGD such as internal use of Chinese medicine， Chinese medicine enema， auricular point seed-embedding， acupuncture， and moxibustion， which feature ease of implementation， small side effects， definite efficacy， and significant effect in combination with other therapies. This paper summarized the ideas and measures for treatment of PGD of gastric cancer by Chinese medicine， the research outcomes， limitations， and research directions， which can serve as a reference for further research on treatment of PGD of gastric cancer by Chinese medicine.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the influence of nutrition cognition and behavior intervention of family caregivers on nutritional status of gastric cancer patients during chemotherapy. Methods We selected 100 patients who received complete chemotherapy at the Department of gastrointestinal surgery from September 2015 to February 2017.Each patient selected 1 family caregiver.It was divided into the control group and the intervention group by the draw method.The control group carried out routine nursing measures.The intervention group carried out nutritional cognitive behavior intervention.The effects of cognitive behavior intervention were investigated by observing the scores of PG-SGA,albumin, prealbumin in gastric cancer patients and the scores of nutrition knowledge,attitude and practice in family caregivers. Results The scores of nutrition knowledge, attitude and practice of the control group and the intervention group were respectively 44.17 ± 9.35 and 46.50 ± 9.32, and the difference was statistically significant(t=15.02, P<0.05).There was significant difference in PG-SGA score, hemoglobin and BMI in patients with gastric cancer patients (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of malnutrition and prealbumin in patients with gastric cancer patients (P>0.05). Conclusion Nutrition cognition and behavior intervention can effectively improve the nutritional cognition of family caregivers, improve the nutritional status of gastric cancer patients during chemotherapy, and promote the rehabilitation of patients with gastric cancer and improve their quality of life.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the effect of early drinking and eating for gastric cancer patients with multimode health propaganda and education during postoperative Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS).Methods:Sixty patients who would received radical operation of gastric cancer were randomly divided into two groups:observation group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases).Patients in the observation group were employed the multi-mode health propaganda and education which were guided more detailed and quantitative regimens for early drinking and eating.Patients in the control group were carried out with routine methods.The compliance of postoperative drinking and eating,the rate of complications and patients satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:The compliance of postoperative drinking and eating of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group.Hospital patient satisfaction in health-education projects (19.50 ± 0.50) of the observation group was significantly higher than that (16.12 ± 3.21) of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of gastrointestinal complications in the observation patients was significantly lower,compared with that in the control patients (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:During the postoperative ERAS for gastric cancer patients,early drinking and eating guided by multi-mode health propaganda and education is safe and effective,for which could increase the postoperative compliance,decrease the rate of complication.It is worth promoting early quantitative drinking and eating after operation.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze and compare the short-term efficacy and daverse reaction of postoperative adjuvant radio -chemotherapy versus simple chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer .Methods A total of 64 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer were randomly but equally divided into 2 groups ,experimental group and control group .The experimental group patients ini-tially receive 4-cycles chemotherapy with Capecitabine Tablets 1 000 mg /m2 ,bid ,d1 - 14 plus Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 ,d1 ,and then receive Capecitabine Tablets 825 mg /m2 ,bid ,d1 - 35 plus 3DCRT 45 Gy/25 Fx /5 w concurrent radio-chemotherapy .Control group patients receive 6-cycles Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin combined chemotherapy .Then we observed the disease progression time ,toxic reaction ,1 year survival rate and 2 year survival rate simultaneously in two groups .Results The follow-up rate were 100% .The comparative results are listed as follows (experimental group and control group) :the rates of Ⅰ /Ⅱ grades of nausea and vomiting were 87 .50% and 62 .50% respectively (P 0 .05) and 84 .38% ,62 .50% respectively (P <0 .05) ;2-year overall survival rate and recurrence-free survival rate were respectively 84 .38% ,59 .38% (P< 0 .05) and 75 .00% , 50 .00% respectively (P< 0 .05) .Conclusion The advantages of 3DCRT combined with Capecitabine Tablets chemoradiotherapy can raise the successful rate of local control in patients with advanced gastric cancer after operation and 4 cycles chemotherapy .The toxic reactions are tolerable for patients .
